[B-Greek] Romans 8:23

I am looking at Romans 8:23, where is says, "the redemption of our body."  The resource that I have (Zodhiates The Complete WordStudy New Testament) shows the word "our" as a personal pronoun rather than a possessive pronoun, and it shows the word "body" as a noun with a definite article.  With that in mind, why then was it translated as "our body" rather than something like "us, the body" or "we, the body"?  Would "us, the body" be a valid translation from the Greek?  Please keep the answer fairly simple, as I'm not a Greek scholar.  Thank you very much.
